Spent the entire day cleaning and organizing the space where I restore and reproduce original putz houses. A fellow putzer has assured me that this will be of interest to at least some of you!

Barb,

Thanks for posting. Sorry it took a week to get approved - there's a glitch somewhere.

You and Howard are an inspiration to us all.

That's a nice, well organized space Barb!

barb...i have seen several photographs of the house reproductions you make...i wish you would share pictures with the forum members...

(note to forum members...you'll be hard pressed to tell barb's houses from the originals)...

my very best regards...

Barb, I just noticed two of Howard's churches on your desk. Nice work. Believe it or not, that church is the first thing Howard and I "collaborated" on - that is, he used my stained glass pattern.

good morning to everyone...

wish i could take credit for the two houses on barb's worktable...but can't!...

i believe one is a "vintage original" and a "remarkable copy" that she made!...

i have seen pictures of other houses she has made...they are accurate in every detail...even down to brush strokes...

her attention to details makes her copies almost impossible to tell from vintage originals...

my very best regards...

Good morning,

Thank you for your nice words, Howard. Yes, the building on the left is an original "High School" clock house lent to me by a collector so that I could copy it, my copy being the one on the right. The clock house buildings are among my favorites, and I'd be looking for the high school building for years.... not to be found.

Here is my craft room.

Lynn, I know that, technically, jealousy is a bad thing, but WOW!
